Joan Rivers on The Shopping Channel.. lizard faced morbid fascination

[Grimmlok]

I admit it.. if I'm up at 3 am on a saturday, just getting home from a club or friends house for some reason I find her stupid show fascinating.

Everything she has on that show (tacky grandma jewelry made out of plastic) is apparently "Gorgeous" or "Fabulous" to her, she's always going on and extolling the virtues of rhinite or the thermofused plastic they use to make the stuff, and always sounds like such a charicature with the oo's and ahhh's and 'you MUST have this!'

Not only that, but I notice that they NEVER EVER do a closeup on her. Ever. Her vapidly smiling co-host gets plenty, but they keep away from joan like she had the plague. I keep watching just to see if they slip up, and I can count the surgery scars on her mug

[A*O]

She's obviously using the same surgeon as the Bride Of Wildenstein for the eyes, and Michael Jackson's for the nose.

i love her, she's hilarious to me for some reason. and i like that she isn't ashamed of having surgeries done, even though it' so freaking obvious

[twitchy]

Watch her fumbling with the clasp of some jewellery item and see how her hands are strangely puffy for such a gaunt person. Fat transfers? Reaction to some medication? Paula Abdul is another with the puffy hands. It distracts me.

[A*O]

She was very funny on Nip/Tuck when she asked the boys to reverse all her surgery because she wanted to look like a 60-something grandmother for some TV show. She changed her mind of course. I like the way she takes the piss out of herself too so I forgive the freakoid face.
